On a related topic, does anybody know if any of the cid programs for Linux 
support logging the call time?  I'm trying to figure out a way to count up 
the total number of minutes that my phone is in use (incoming and outgoing; 
local and long distance) and Qwest won't give me that info without a 
subpoena.  Now I know that my modem can get the CID info without answering 
the phone, but can it figure out how long the phone is active?
